Unknown System, or, New Peoples by alatarmaia4
Fandoms: Discworld - Terry Pratchett, The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
I saw a post on tumblr suggesting a crossover where Murderbot meets Sam Vimes, and I couldn't not write it. Behold:
Murderbot, randomly pulled into the metropolis of Ankh-Morpork, must figure out how it got here, how to get home, and what the fuck is going on in general. Meanwhile, Sam Vimes of the city guard is hot on the trail of a suspicious-looking case at Unseen University—or at least he would be if he didn't have the baby at home to worry about...
I love TMB and Discworld so much, so I tried to make this as newbie-friendly as possible. If you're coming for the Discworld, the Murderbot stuff is supposed to be as understandable as possible, and if you don't know Discworld at all but love Murderbot, hopefully it still makes sense.
This is set after Exit Strategy but vaguely before Fugitive Telemetry; on the Discworld side, it's somewhere in between Night Watch and Going Postal.

Summary
Dr. Gurathin knows he and SecUnit got off to a bad start when they first met. Although it's been a while and things have improved since then, SecUnit is still pretty rude to him pretty much all the time. And honestly? He's getting sick of that. Hypothesis: SecUnit hates him. Objective: Find out why.

Summary
“It’s an invitation to go to a university and talk to some bots, what’s to make of it?” I said. Then the obvious reason behind Bharadwaj asking occurred to me. Oh, great. “Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going?”
“I’m considering it,” Bharadwaj said. “I set my own schedule these days, and I would very much like to speak with the bots they’ve been working with, if nothing else.”
I sighed. I like sighing at appropriate moments, and I think I’m pretty good at it at this point. “There are bots on Preservation.”
“True, but the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland has one of the most advanced programs in this section of the galaxy for the construction and study of higher-level bots!” Bharadwaj said, making one of those hand gestures she liked for emphasis.
-
AU after Fugitive Telemetry. Bharadwaj, Mensah, and Gurathin take a trip to do some research and rapidly uncover more than they'd bargained for. Why did Murderbot tag along on this low-risk research trip? Listen, don't worry about it.

Summary
“Well, what am I supposed to do now?” Ratthi moaned. “Tell him, hey, Rafael, I can’t keep dating you ‘cause I think you’re a corporate spy or even an assassin?”
“You could suddenly discover you have business down on the planet,” Gurathin suggested. Pin-Lee rolled her eyes. “If he’s here with ulterior motives, you’d better keep an eye on him! It’ll be easier if he goes on thinking you’re a gullible idiot.”
Ratthi tasted sour. To spy on Rafael because Rafael might be a spy… Just— no.
---
Or: On his way back from a science conference, Ratthi meets an incredibly attractive man. The sex is great but things seem to be getting odder and odder...

Summary
A locked hab, attempted murder mystery.
Mariss has always wanted to go on a survey. Un-terraformed worlds, alien fauna, and adventure await!
Twenty-two knows surveys are boring, dangerous, and the fauna eat humans. Still, it dusts off its old armor, drops the stupid-human code, and goes back to being a SecUnit. After all, it isn’t going to trust bond company SecUnits with its human.
What could go wrong?
Definitely not potential alien remnants, ill-advised romances, and sabotage.

Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

Aliens Ain't Shit (I could probably beat them up) by Coldbluesilk

Summary
“Max,” he enunciated, planting a hand over his chest with a thump, “Max.”
The next line of surprised nonsense had something that could be interpreted as ‘mack-suh’ tacked on to the end, but the man had mirrored the gesture.
“No! I’m Max,” he reached out and grabbed the man’s hand this time, pressing it against his chest, “My name is Max, you dumb fuck.”
The man stared at his hand, then at Max, and eventually a single syllable fell out of his mouth: “Max.”
Holy shit.
--------------------------------
Max has been abducted by aliens. After being passed from ship to ship, he meets another human.
Alternatively, David is not actually a human. He has no idea what to do with this strange, violent being he's been put in charge of.Bookmarked by Shin_ai

Summary
Fíriel of Gondor made a fatal error: she refused the hand of Boromir, the Captain-General.
As punishment, the Steward Denethor has sold her to the North. She is to be the price of a new alliance with the Horse Lords. A bride for the Prince of Rohan to secure cavalry for the coming war.
But when Fíriel arrives at the wind-scoured hill of Edoras, she finds the Golden Hall rotting from within. The King is withered, the prince is absent, and the snake Gríma Wormtongue has altered the deal. Fíriel is not to be a Princess. She is to be pawned off on the King’s disgraced nephew. Éomer, the Third Marshal.
She is a lady of silk and high walls who prizes order. He is a warrior of wool and leather who smells of the stables.
Bound by a marriage neither wanted but united by a common enemy in the counselor who wishes them dead, Fíriel and Éomer must find a way to bridge the gap between Stone and Straw.
But first, she has to teach him how to take a bath.

“Noods.” The kid says, voice quiet but sure.
“Okay.” Hua Cheng lets out a laugh.
